RPR Solution Is Not Difficult

Having read Dale Ross’s recent post that noted RPR was “hitting a wall of entrenched attitudes…” etc., that was keeping them from meeting their goals I was a bit surprised. I was surprised because in many ways I thought RPR had a pretty good year with the addition of some of the big boy MLSs that had been standing on the sidelines, while this post seemed to highlight what isn’t working. My take on RPR, before the post, was that now was the time for RPR to ride their recent signings and begin […]

Data for Money – What Have We Learned Since NAR – San Diego in 2009

If you want something to remind you how fast things are going in our world today just think back to where things were in San Diego at the NAR Conference in 2009, when RPR was announced for real! Things have moved pretty dramatically since that first sales pitch, not just for RPR, but also for real estate data in general.

RPR reports they are launched in 80 MLSs serving about 224,000 Realtors and recent months have seen some of the big [...]

CoreLogic Data Co-op Product Gaining Traction

CoreLogic announced today the addition of two more MLSs to their InfoNet™ program. We received confirmation from CoreLogic that they currently have a total of 49 accounts in the program, representing 260,000 agents and 860,000 listings. An interesting side note of their Partner InfoNet™ program is the fact that their DataCoop products seems to be getting some serious consideration and use. A number of MLSs are receiving their DataCoop product for free if they are an exclusive InfoNet™ partner and others are paying for it, but they note the price is not high. According to CoreLogic, they are seeing MLSs beginning to share [...]

Good Sales People Like Tension!

Want to Lose a Sale? Be a Therapist! If you are a sales person, selling anything from property to technology, have you ever made this classic mistake? Your customer has entered the buying process, for whatever the product is, a house, a new MLS system, a new website, whatever, and you have a chance to sell them your product. They have reached what I will call the “threshold of activation” meaning simply that enough energy exists around an event for them to take action on it. They have experienced a business pain or recognized some lack in how they are [...]

When It’s Good To Lose Control

Business leaders can plan and set strategies but the real key to whether these plans are executed successfully is what their organization does after the plan is released. Do they embrace the plan? Do they start strong and then slip back to their old ways? Do initiatives kick off with great promise and then lose momentum? Do you find yourself having to continually push the plan rather than seeing full engagement by your staff? Do you find that some of your staff get on board while others resist change? Here’s the truth! […]

Making a Change Requires Some Tension

We have always been big believers that most change occurs as a result of some “pain”. While we all would like to create change in our lives for positive reasons, and we certainly do at times, a good deal of “major” changes in business and personal lives come about as a result of pain or some “tension” in our lives. It’s the old aspirin vs. vitamins story. We know we should take vitamins; they are good for us right? But, if you have a really bad headache or muscle ache you are most likely going to take something for it more [...]
